Akshay Kumar Provides Health Insurance for Bollywood Stuntmen
Akshay Kumar, a famous Bollywood actor, is now helping to keep stunt people safe.
He bought health insurance for about 650 stuntmen and stuntwomen.
This insurance helps cover medical bills if they get hurt while working, even if it happens when they are not on set.
This is a big deal because stunt people often do dangerous work and didn't always have good protection.
This move is expected to inspire others in the film industry to prioritize the safety of stunt artists.
Akshay Kumar has insured roughly 650 stunt professionals in Bollywood.
The insurance provides medical coverage for injuries, both on and off film sets.
The coverage offers cashless medical expenses up to Rs 5 to 5.5 lakh.
The move follows the death of a stuntman, raising safety concerns.
Industry experts view the initiative as a positive step towards better working conditions.
